Help - Family of 5 but only NPPL(m) - what license type / conversion path?
Sounds entirely reasonable to me, Gbandera. You can always hire a car when you arrive at destination. Do remember that vfr flying doesn't have a high dispatch reliability, and be prepared to spend some time waiting for weather. Well, actually, a lot of time...
I have met a lot of interesting, charming, and helpful people touring in a slow aircraft with no instrument flight capability. It will be a great adventure for the family, too. I do have a feeling for two aircraft though, his and hers as it were. One that you own, and hire another for the times you really need the luggage space, that would keep the costs somewhere short of stratospheric. Six seater singles being a bit thin on the ground, as it were. Or an An2 fitted with beds? And a personal oil tanker :-)
